Powerless

Lyrics

My head is spinning Minutes turn into endless nights Tears burn behind my eyes I want to fall to my knees and scream for help The tears are flowing Intense heartache The feeling of failure, I've left my child all alone The tension at home was too high, I tiptoed around and kept a brave face Other children demanding attention It was too much, not just for you, but for me and everyone else at home With my back against the wall, between two fires I feel so damn alone... Alone with my heartache and numb with pain The feeling that the sun will never shine the same way again This has broken me and changed me forever Will you ever forgive me for not being able to give you the safety you needed From bad to worse, where you are now is so much worse Will you ever get over this Know that I love you from the top of my head to the tips of my toes But love alone wasn't enough, I didn't know what else to do So incredibly powerless I've begged countless institutions for help, only received the bare minimum, years have passed Where did it go wrong, what did I do wrong I thought I had carried you often and given you enough love Is it the breakdown between me and your father after all I so desperately want to listen to you if you would let me in, my dear child, please come into my arms For now, I feel numb and I keep going...
